Frequently Asked Questions

Please check if your query is answered here before you contact us as we will not reply to your email if your question has been answered.

Account Queries

Do I need to create account to place an order?

No. You can check out using the guest checkout option so no additional information needs to be added. But we do encourage you to create one as we like to send our customer gifts from time to time through their account area. These could be free seed offers, discount codes and all sorts of other fun promos. It also stores all of the information about your order including what you ordered and the tracking code if the package had one.

How do I access my account?

On a desktop computer the login / register button is in the top right corner. On a mobile device it is at the bottom of the menu section in the top left hand corner.

I have forgotten my login details – what can I do?

Don’t panic, simply click on the “forgotten your password” link and it will send you a reminder/reset option to your email address.

Why is my order status showing as pending/on hold?

This is because we have not been able to complete your order yet. Most commonly it is because we are awaiting the payment from you (if you selected the Cash, Bank transfer or Money order option). It can also be because there is a small issue with your order that requires you to let us know some information. You should have received a note from us about this but it will also show at the bottom of the actual order when you view it.

Where is my order?

First of all - don't worry! If you have received an email from us saying it has been shipped and it is on route, then it's on its way. Depending on the level of shipping you selected, you may already have had a tracking code added to your account area, so log in and look in your account area. If you can't remember your details just click on the login/password reminder link in the login screen and follow the instructions on screen. If you have logged in to your account and looked under the “orders” section and you don't see a tracking code, it’s OK. We use a variety of methods to get your souvenirs to you, and some of them don't have tracking. Look at the Shipping and returns section HERE for full details

Why haven’t my seeds arrived yet?

Firstly, please check the shipping time scale list, 99% of our packages arrive we within theses times. If you have selected the ‘Standard’ delivery option and you have not received your goods within 25 working days of the date of getting your shipping confirmation, please contact us. We will then do our upmost to track down your item through the relevant postal provider as well as supplying you with a proof of postage. However if we are unsuccessful and your item has been lost or stopped on route then we will be unable to resend it free of charge.

If you have selected the ‘Stealth’ delivery method, the first thing to do is check your account area in the orders section. Alternatively contact us for a tracking number for your package, as most orders (but not all). Will have one If the tracking reference number shows the package was failed to be delivered we will investigate and if it was lost we will resend it to you if you cover the cost of shipping. Please be aware this does not cover you if the postal details were entered by you incorrectly as it is your responsibility to get your address correct.

If you have selected the Guaranteed stealth shipping option, contact us for your tracking number. If your items have been shipped and your tracking reference does not show that it has been delivered, provided the maximum 25 day period has elapsed, we will resend your items to you free, with no questions asked.

If you get a package you don't recognise DON’T THROW IT OUT. Many times people may receive a package from us without knowing. Look very carefully through the package and read through any email correspondence from us fully. If you still cannot find your seeds, get in touch and we'll tell you where we've hidden them!

Will my seeds be labelled?

All strains will be in separate packs clearly marked with the abbreviation of the strain name. In the case of mixed packs (Outdoor mix, Premium Mix, Feminized Mix) these are a random collection of seeds from their relevant categories, mixed in one pack together so each strain is not individually labelled (i.e. they will just be labelled as a mix).

What is the difference between 'Standard', 'Stealth' and 'Guaranteed Stealth' shipping?

Standard delivery is a standard shipping method that is discreet in a plain envelope. It usually does not come with tracking but is perfectly reliable.

Stealth delivery is even more discreet/stealth than the standard method. Stealth shipping uses a variety of methods where the seeds are shipped hidden in some way. This requires extra processing time and costs, hence the extra fee. This sometimes uses tracking but not always.

Guaranteed Stealth is an additional level of reassurance for you. Items are sent using the same methods as Stealth delivery, but always use a tracking system. Should the items tracking code not show as delivered after the maximum allotted time period we will resend the items free of charge. Guaranteed stealth items will only be re-shipped once. (don't worry that's all it will take!) Full details of our shipping and returns methods are HERE

Payment & Billing Queries

Do you accept my card type?

We try our best to make it as simple as possible to pay for your seeds, for a full list of the payment methods we currently accept see our Payments page

How will I know if you have received my money order/ cash order?

As soon as your money order or cash payment is received you will be notified by email. These take approximately 1-2 weeks to arrive with us and to be processed so dont worry if you haven't heard from us straight away. See our "payments" page for more details on where to send these and how they work.

What address do I send my money order or cash payment to?

For full details on how to send payments to us please see our Payments page

What are my payment options?

We accept payment by card, bank transfer, UK postal order, international money order or cash. Please see our payment page HERE for more information.

What will my bank / credit card statement say?

Your statement will not display anything even remotely connected to the products and will be billed to an unrelated billing name. This is for your complete security and discretion. We change this regularly to keep it safe for you, so if you have ordered and you are in any doubt just drop us an email and we will let you know it’s us.

Why is my card payment declining?

Chances are your bank is not sure the transaction is real and is blocking it to be safe. This is nothing to worry about and it is very common. All you need to do is give your bank a quick call, tell them you are buying something from a foreign website and to let it go through.

Why is the amount shown on my account/statement different?

When using our site you can select the currency you would like to view all prices in and the site will use the most up to date international exchange rate for that day. The currencies available are:

Our site will always bill you in GB Pounds regardless of the currency you have viewed and checked out with using that days’ exchange rate. When the payment is then processed and taken from your bank account, your bank will convert it from GBP into your national currency using THIER OWN exchange rate. This may differ slightly from the international rates we use. This means that the amount shown on your statement will be slightly different than that shown at the checkout, if your local currency is not GBP (i.e. the amount on your statement is the total GBP amount converted into your currency. Currency conversions can be checked at xe.com).

Please note some banks charge a small fee for international transactions. This is an international charge your bank may add, not us.

General Queries

Are you a genuine company that I can trust?

We pride ourselves on the fact that we were one of the first and we deliver a consistently high level of service and customer satisfaction from moment you first visit, to your package arriving at your door.

How do I... Germinate/Grow/setup etc?

Marijuana-seeds.nl categorically states that the germination of seeds is Illegal in most parts of the world and in no way condones the germination of our seeds, they are sold for souvenir purposes only. If you live in a place where seeds can be germinated there is plenty of information online or you could buy a good book from somewhere like Amazon.

How long can I store my seeds?

If kept in cool, dark, dry and airtight conditions your seeds will stay fresh for a minimum of 2 years. Storage time can be increased by storing seeds in a constant refrigerated temperature of around 4-6 deg Celsius. The container the seeds are in must be well sealed.

I am looking for a specific strain that you don’t have on your site – can you help?

Because we already work very closely with the majority of reputable breeders, if there is something in particular from a specific breeder, just let us know. We can buy at preferential rates from most breeders and pass those savings on to you.

Will my seeds germinate/ How many will be female?

Marijuana-Seeds.nl categorically states that the germination of seeds is Illegal in most parts of the world and in no way condones the germination of our seeds, they are sold for souvenir purposes only. If, however, you are in a location where the cultivation of Cannabis is permitted for you, all our seeds are regularly batch tested in Holland to ensure we maintain highest quality. Germination rates of our seeds in optimum conditions regularly reach close to 100%. But, like all seed banks, we offer no guarantees, seeds are a natural product.

We cannot guarantee the sex of our regular seeds as there are so many factors that will affect the final sex of plants. With regular seeds, the more optimum the conditions the more females you will get. The worse the conditions the less females you will get (worse conditions or stressed conditions may be for example such things as not enough light, not enough ventilation, not enough nutrients, too much nutrients etc). Regular seeds (i.e. not feminized) should produce up to approximately 80% females when grown under optimum conditions and the worse the conditions or the more stressed the conditions this percentage of females will decrease.

Our feminized seeds have been specially treated and engineered to produce 99.9% female plants, although under very stressful conditions some plants can become hermaphrodites or male.

Your Privacy

Marijuana-Seeds.nl take your privacy seriously. we will never share your details with any other party. If you make an order we may email you from time to time regarding special offers or discounts. If you do not want to receive these email you can easily opt out at the bottom of the email.
